This book is the first comprehensive description of the distilleries and types of whiskey produced in Scotland. Whiskey is not just a traditional Scottish drink, it is also the national symbol of the country, a symbol of man’s struggle with northern nature and his victory. The first distilleries appeared in the 16th century, although whiskey was made here before. By the beginning of the 20th century, about 200 distilleries operated in Scotland, but not all have survived to this day. The author, a famous journalist and producer, writer and musician, talks about each of them, introduces the products, gives characteristics of the produced varieties. The book will be of interest to all whiskey lovers, aesthetes and connoisseurs of quality alcohol, as well as specialist winemakers and managers of trading companies involved in sale of elite varieties of alcohol. And also to everyone who has been or is just going to Scotland.
